BIM Coordination

Coordination as a skill set

This intermediate course is about bringing design information together so that a project team can see conflicts before construction. It covers design coordination and clash detection, along with level of development, which determines how much detail each model element should carry.

Federated models and analysis

The first part introduces the idea of a federated model under ISO 19650, and shows how to build one in Revit using practical examples. The later part looks at analysis, including structural, energy and lighting studies, and at how those results feed design assessment and optimisation.

Skills it targets

• Design reviews and visualisation of coordinated models.
• Structural analysis and general construction management concepts.
• Technical standards that shape how models are shared.

Its skill tags also point toward augmented and virtual reality, which is one way review sessions can be run.
